Abstract

Artificial Neural Networks were first made as a component of extensive research attempts around man-made brainpower. They have discovered most of their usage in applications that are hard to express with conventional computer algorithms utilizing rule based programming. In competitive programming, the online judge presents a set of logical or mathematical problems to competitors. The contenders are required to develop computer programs to solve them. At present, the problems are labeled by users and are dubious. There is no reliable framework to recommend analogous problems. Our proposed system comprises of building a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to perceive programming techniques utilized in the C++ program solutions. In our experiment, the considered domains are segment tree, binary search, dynamic programming and graph. The end goal of our system is to determine the approach required to solve the problem. Problems are tagged in view of the programming approach found in the solutions that are acknowledged by the online judge. The system prescribes to undertake challenges that belong to the same domain and can be tackled with similar approaches. Solving similar problems will improve the programmer’s proficiency in that particular domain.
